From the reviews

Such a beautiful space and community of dancers at all levels. My daughter has taken classes before at various studios, but it was when she came to Raleigh Dance and Tumble that she really started to flourish. She's becoming more confident and dancing in everyday life.

We love RDT! The teachers are so talented and my daughters look forward to going to classes each week! My youngest has loved the drop in cartwheel clinic and is so proud of what she has learned in just a few short weeks! RDT is such a special place and we are so thankful to all the wonderful teachers!

Your first ballet class at Raleigh Dance & Tumble

Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
